“Always” (f/ Davido)
Man of the Year (out 05/18 on Baseline)
Already a star in his homeland, the rising Nigerian vocalist is set to release what will hopefully be his breakthrough LP. With a lovely assist from his superstar countryman, Davido, “Always” is an electric, hyper-buoyant declaration of love with the twin vocalists’ warm vocals smeared over ecstatic keyboards with calypso-influenced, shuffling percussion. It’s a beautiful representation of what first love feels like — that obsessive period where the butterflies in your stomach are more like drunk parrots crashing against your insides. It’s the kind of track that will be blazing dancefloors around the world, and with any luck, American ones won’t be left out.
